Nature of Directing
Patton won the Oscar for Directing in 1970.
The Departed won the Oscar for Directing in 2006.
Platoon won the Oscar for Directing in 1986.
Cabaret won the Oscar for Directing in 1972.
used of para nitro acet anilide
The -NHCOR group is less powerfully activating then the -NH2 group. In addition, the degree of steric hindrance is much greater in the case of a -NHCOR group, such as is found in acetanilide. This results in the compound being much more para directing. For an example, see Morrison and Boyd 's text "Organic Chemistry", sixth edition, Page 848.
166-170 ºC
Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution is an example of Ortho and para directing group and meta directing group.
The amide group on acetanilide is an ortho/para director, so a simple nitration should work: a mixture of sulfiric acid and nitric acid should be sufficient. Afterward, separation of the ortho and para compounds (by column chromatography, probably) would be necessary.
The polarization of bromine in bromoacetanilide reaction
salicytic acid is a ortho para directing group ....however check up on that ...i am not completely certain .. Actually, it is a meta-directing group, because of the carboxylic acid functional that the salicylic acid contains. Hope that was helpful.
it holds the carbocation that is formed in "soultion" so it is able to react to completion
p-nitro phenol has a symmetric structure as compare to o-nitro phenol so it has higher dipole moment or polarity so is more soluble.
The Acetanilide is a benzene with a acetamido group attached to it. The acetamido group is electron donating and therefore it directs other substituents to the ortho and para positions. The acetamido group is also a very large group and the ortho position is right besides the acetamido group. This creates steric hindrance from bromine from getting to the ortho position and therefore only para-bromoacetanilide or 4-bromoacetanilide is created mainly from a bromination of acetanilide.
4 hydroxybenzoic acid is para directing group whereas 2 is ortho directing group. thus at para, the two groups i.e. alcohol and carboxyl are far apart and thus dont show steric hinderance. therefore para directing group is a stable and as a result less acidic.
Why is not acetanilide soluble in HCL?
